    So I was putting in my new beQuiet Dark Rock 3 cooler, and after putting my PC back together again, my monitor gave me a "No signal" error message, no matter if I plugged my cable into the I/O shield on the motherboard or into the DVI slot on my graphics card (which is the one I use normally). My card (GIGABYTE GTX 1070) still takes power and has the fans spinning at usual RPMs (from what I can tell, who knows?), but the "EXTREME GAMING" light that normally cycles through the colour spectrum even when the system is turned off (not disconnected from the mains) is dead. I have an ASUS STRIX Z270E Gaming motherboard, 16 gigs of DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RAM, an i7-7700K CPU, and an EVGA 500 B power supply.
    My PC worked "fine" (bad cooler) until today.
    Whenever I try and power up my system my GPU has a single small flash of white light (which looks scarily like a shorted circuit) go through the area near the PSU adapter slots for the PCIe's.
    I have also tried plugging the GPU into the other PCI-express slot on the MB - no change.
    Help :frowning:

    Sounds like the gpu is simply broken, not much you can do about it. Do you still have warranty on it?

    Sounds indeed like the GPU is broken, but have you tried removing the battery from your motherboard for a minute, then putting it back in and trying again? (unless there is no battery on the motherboard). I had a similair issue with a PC I was building for my nephew, removing the battery for a minute fixed it. (Make sure the PC is off)

    Its probably the GPU but its worth a try.

    Too late, I already sent it off to get a replacement card. Mindfactory said it looks and sounds a lot like a GPU malfunction.
